Kevin Froleiks - Bad Lyrics

Sitting by the river
Thinking about the days gone by
And an old lover who got away
How I mourn the passage of time
I feel inspired to jot it down
These feelings from deep inside
I feel the urge to express myself to all
The people far and wide
But as I start to write the lines
Suddenly I realize
That I'm about to write some bad lyrics
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
I almost shared my emotions
But remembered that expressing myself always sounds dumb
So I let those thoughts go
Phew that was close
I almost wrote some bad lyrics
Oh baby your eyes shine
Like the stars through the clouds
Can you believe I almost
Wrote that trite bullshit down
I mean who do I think I am
Opening my heart to let you see me bleed
Like some mopey college freshman
Writing some awful poetry
Art is all about taking a risk
But art is also stupid and pretentious
So I'm about to write some bad lyrics
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
Why'd I peel the layers and try to be revealing
I'll just stuff it all down and pretend I've got no feelings
Can you imagine if
I really went through with it
And wasted ink and paper on those bad lyrics
I was thinking about my granddad
Who's long since dead and gone
And wondered what he'd think of me
And what he'd say about this song
So I wrote down a conversation
That we never got to say
So that I could share his memory
With my own grandson someday
And while I searched for the words to rhyme
My grandson traveled back in time
And told me
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
Let me tell you now that that's not me
I'm not the kind of guy who does sincerity
I'm sorry but nope, I'll stick to sarcastic jokes
Cause I don't wanna write some bad lyrics
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
We gotta stop the war!
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
I'm young and you're young and we are all of us young
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
Baby baby sweety sweety baby sweety pie
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
A metaphor for sadness goes here
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
When in doubt just repeat the chorus twice
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
Or just keep repeating a key phrase over and over
I'm about to write some bad lyrics
Yeah like that...
